I'd be perfectly happy with mine if it just let off a few pops on downshifts. Downshifting absolutely sucks compared to my old 2017. Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with the noises it makes when driven properly.
I am still waiting for one of you guys to take the knife to the DPs on the 2019. I am not pulling the trigger on the 2019 until someone sorts this out. Come on guys! Take one for the team. Get rid of that stock DP and post a video ples.
This one has a tune though, so the burbles might have been added. What I wanted to see if a DP with secondary deleted, or a DP without a tune to determine how much is the sound is being affected because of the particulate filter. Apparently Mercedes made the ECU so that it will adapt to aftermarket exhaust systems. So I think less restrictions might enable the burbles on downshift.
Pops on downshift are synthesised by pulling the ignition. A freer flowing exhaust won't do anything in that regard.
It was inferred in an interview with a Mercedes Representative, the the ECU will adapt and pull ignition timing if it detects lower restrictions in the exhaust. The authenticity of the claim is to be tested. I noticed this with my current car that once I removed the resonator, the overun on downshift and liftoff was significantly longer than when it was stock. So the ECU definitely adapts and pulls timing more with a free flowing exhaust.
The US version is much quieter than last year model... almost no pops or bangs on downshift unless you are near red line. has anyone found a fix without having to downpipes and tune????

i have a 2019 c63 coupe as well and the sound is muted and zero pops or bangs like you stated..... any updates from Mercedes?? I really don't want to have to mod my car with downpipes and a tune to get more sound, because that's another level of sound that im not quite i want... please help
did you ever post a video?? I have a 2019 and literally no pops or crackles... have you had any issues with being flagged at the dealership due to the tune?? Ive been thinking of having weistec tune mine... warranty issues?
I drove the 2019 C63S Coupe in Laguna Seca AMG Academy event this week. The C63S coupe was used for the skidpad drifting event. Although we don't get to go really fast on the skidpad, you need to go stomp on the gas pedal to make the car drift, and let go to gain control of the car after the drift. Every time when we did this, we heard pops and crackles consistently. It was not as loud as the 2018s, but it's still there when you go above 3k RPM.

Yep, especially in Race mode. Should mention that the cars were in Race mode for the skidpad exercise with ESP off of course, which activates the AMG DYNAMICS Master mode for the best drift results, manually controllable by the TC level. The pops&bangs are clearly reduced, though in newer models. The 2020 GT Rs we drove on the track in S+ popped and banged about as much as the 2019 C63S. The older GT S we also got to drive popped & banged more. Quite frankly they all sounded great, though. To me the pops&bangs don't really add much and I still don't miss them. The occasional pops&bangs feel a lot more natural.
Figured I'd update this thread after putting ~4K miles on my '19 C63s coupe, few notes below (note that I only drive in S+ or R):
* It definitely has gotten louder since I got it ( I'm still waiting for the first person to get a secondary cat delete, although I may end up being the guinea pig )
* It crackles and pops on up shifts now, don't remember it doing that early on
* It will crackle and pop every time if I get the revs above 3.5K and lift off, it's especially noticeable in the first through third in city driving. Second gear in city driving - I'm getting crackles even around 3K RPM while driving around
* Still nothing on downshifts yet
All in all - the car is amazing and by far the funnest/best daily driver I've owned, still waiting to hear aftermarket exhaust options.
I tried multiple shops to remove my secondary cat.... everyone said they can not do it on the 19/20. I’m in California so that may be the problem. But I went to shops where I knew someone and they still said they couldn’t do it. I’ve thought about down pipes and a tune, but 7k later and possible void of warranty or flag at the dealer has kept me from doing it.

The filters are big, fat looking muffler thingamajigs? can we not see these obviously on our cars?
Funny thing regarding the M2 is, despite a particulate filter, you still have the car sounding great (or at least better than half the super cars, including the AMG GT63s), according to motor trend: https://www.motortrend.com/news/rank...D8kt6dZFUVC9XM
Test drove 2019 AMG GTR today… The GTR is loud, brutal and aggressive sounding machine, exactly what you would expect from a V8 AMG, It reminded me why I decided to upgrade to the C63 2 years ago. Man, how muted our facelift cars are..

The 2020 FL is toned down as well. Drove it at Laguna Seca during the AMG Driving Academy day.
